Finding a home within oneself - Turning loneliness into familiarity

It is not always possible to escape loneliness by building relationships with other people. Yet it is always possible to meet oneself in a kind way, to get to know oneself gradually in order to make and visit our inner self as a place filled with well-being. To reach that state, our attitudes towards ourselves are characterized by benevolence and compassion. We mindfully explore our inner self giving us a chance to learn to accept unpleasant, yet inevitable feelings and let all feelings rise to surface with enough room. In this way, everyone’s inner self can turn into a homely place, which also welcomes us in a friendly way when we are lonely. Key aspects during the lecture will be: inner mindfulness, acceptance, friendly relations with the self, feelings, wisdom.
